Princess Anne Just Copied Daughter Zara Tindall’s Signature Look with a Pair of Fabulous Tassel Boots

It goes without saying: Princess Anne, along with Queen Camilla, is certainly holding down the fort as her brother, King Charles, navigates his cancer diagnosis, announced by Buckingham Palace earlier this week. But Anne’s stiff upper lip is augmented by her innate sense of style. This week, she stepped out wearing a purple jacket beloved by her late mother Queen Elizabeth II and a chic pair of suede riding boots from House of Bruar ($355) that are a near-exact replica of a pair worn by her daughter Zara Tindall just last week.

Princess Anne chose her mom’s coat and the House of Bruar boot for a visit to G.H. Hurt & Son this week as part of her role as President of the U.K. Fashion and Textiles Association. It’s the first time she’s publicly worn a piece from her late mother’s closet, but not the first time she’s taken a page from her daughter Zara with these equestrian-inspired boots.

The dark hue, the modest heel, the tassel—sartorially speaking, Anne and Zara’s choice of boots have quite a bit in common. And leave it to Anne to pair them with a nostalgic nod to her mother, the late Queen (pictured below, wearing her purple jacket in 2005).
